Marquez Triumphs in Aragon as Bagnaia’s Championship Hopes Slide in Dramatic Crash

Marc Marquez showcased a commanding performance by leading from start to finish at the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, while Pecco Bagnaia's race ended in a crash involving Alex Marquez.

In the Aragon Grand Prix of MotoGP, Marc Marquez secured his first Grand Prix win in more than 1,000 days, achieving it in a commanding manner.

Dominating from start to finish, Marquez showcased outstanding speed and ultimately secured victory, finishing nearly five seconds ahead of Jorge Martin.

Martin increased his lead in the championship to 23 points by finishing second, after Francesco Bagnaia was knocked out of the race due to a collision with Alex Marquez, who also went down in the incident.

Bagnaia was making impressive progress through the pack, having initially lost traction on his rear tyre from the less clean part of the starting grid. He found himself in seventh position at the beginning, moved up to sixth following Miguel Oliveira's fall, advanced to fifth as Franco Morbidelli went off track, and then climbed to fourth after pressuring Pedro Acosta into an error at turn 16.

Several circuits were completed in the pursuit of Marques, who veered off course at turn 12, creating an opportunity for Bagnaia to overtake him entering turn 13. However, when Bagnaia made his move into turn 13, he collided with Marquez, causing both riders to crash.

Following the race, Bagnaia was taken to the medical center, however, there has been no further information released regarding his status.

The collision between the two competitors elevated Pedro Acosta to third position, though he was nearly 15 seconds adrift of the race leader.

Brad Binder secured the fourth spot, while Enea Bastianini climbed to fifth from a 14th place start. Franco Morbidelli took sixth place, followed by Fabio Di Giannantonio, Marco Bezzecchi, Alex Rins, and Jack Miller, who completed the top 10.

Fabio Quartararo experienced a crash, and Maverick Vinales also withdrew from the race.

Following the race, probes were initiated into Fabio Di Giannantonio, Jack Miller, and Raul Fernandez regarding the pressure of their front tyres.
